The late A.K. Ramanujan’s profound and prolific output has influenced the literary instincts of generations of Indian readers and academics. A poet, scholar, philologist, folklorist and translator, he transformed the Indian way of seeing. Guillermo Rodríguez, the author of When Mirrors Are Windows: A View of A.K. Ramanujan’s Poetics, examines his legacy in conversation with Arshia Sattar and Philip A. Lutgendorf.
